I wish I had a reel to reel player

Just for starters, mine ain't for sale.

Akai reel-to-reel with a 8-track cassette slot in the side purchased in '67 and currently residing in the corner bookshelf. (Had Jarhead littlest brother pick it up during one of his stops in Japan and ship it to me.)

I believe that there are still some of those old 8-tracks in a box someplace, but the sound quality on those things was **** fifty years ago and I'm sure the storage hasn't made any improvement at all.

What I mostly use it for is a training aid for my homeschool history and science classes for the grandkids and their buddies. (One tape is the ENTIRE Apollo 11/Neil Armstrong Moon Landing feed....)

Not much stereo, but good stuff.

I know the one! You have a prize. Thank-you for keeping it and giving it a place of honor.
